Hi guys, I just replaced my PCV valve today and found out before I did anything. There was a small crack on the metal air penum where the PCV valve is is crewed right into it and then connected to the rubber hose that ran to the oil tank. Apparently, who ever owned my car before me yanked in a huge PCV valve that wasn't for the car, then caused that crack and slapped a sticker over it. So I replaced that PCV valve with Nissan OE valve and that small line of crack of 1.5" long by 2mm wide worries me. I am thinking about going to radio sack and get some soldering gun and ion to fill that damn crack up. But then again, would it be safe to solder that spot since the air penum gets really hot when the engine is running? Any suggestion to work around this problem? Thanks.
